How to Live Biblically?
Posted by Tom Barnes on March 6, 2010 at 10:44am in Forum
My apologies for rambling but I feel this must be said. Before I moved out of my parents home, I was studying every possible form of Christianity and reading the Bible obsessively. I came to the conclusion that a messianic Israel/Judaic faith was the most likely to be correct, my parents however forbade me to live in accordance to the Torah which I was newly discovering. Meals and trips became uncomfortable with my refusal to eat certain foods and drink alcohol and eventually, much to my shame, I relented and starting to live a more "normal" existence. I eventually got back into Bible study which lead me, sadly, to the Mormons (long story) and now I'm back where I started wanting to reintegrate Torah principles into my life.
But how? I don't have anyone to stop me following Torah now (apart from perhaps my girlfriend!) and I know it should just be through simple dedication but it's so hard to live amongst people who attack the Biblical ideals almost constantly. How does one cope with this without being constantly exhausted defending the faith and pointing out to people what you believe? I feel sometimes that I'm just condemned to be unable to be saved without isolating myself completely. Not to mention, there's literally nobody around my area who I can fellowship with and discuss theology in a meaningful way.
Sorry for this rant! Not sure if it made sense, or if it was worth sharing!
